Detail

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.13), fixing one security issue:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the dissect_ldss_transfer function (epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c) in the LDSS dissector in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.12 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an LDSS packet with a long digest line that triggers memory corruption (CVE-2010-4300).

Id Description
69354 Wireshark LDSS Dissector epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c dissect_ldss_transfer(...

Wireshark is prone to an overflow condition. The program fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can potentially cause a denial of service.
